524. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth how a person (details supplied) with a medical condition can receive personal assistance support to attend swimming lessons which greatly benefit their wellbeing as the organisation they were attending will no longer be providing this service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. The Deputy will likely be aware that the industrial action by certain Fórsa grades in the HSE has been suspended. The HSE has indicated that they have recommenced issuing replies to questions but there is a significant backlog of PQs and Reps to be responded to and has advised that they are working to get through these as soon as possible while at the same time managing the volume of current PQs and Reps.
